Sponsored by. RUBEN AMORIM is certainly not stupid and he can read the room at Old Trafford. Although, in his previous appearance at the Theatre of Dreams, this also saw him witness a leaking roof in his post-match press conference... which sums up the state of Manchester United right now.

Yet the Portuguese coach knows all about the importance of having a connection with supporters and he can clearly see Red Devils’ fans are all “tired” with the situation at their shambolic club. Amorim has only been at United just over a month but the 2-0 Boxing Day defeat at Wolves was his fifth in seven games since taking charge in the wake of Erik ten Hag’s sacking.

And now he must prepare for Monday’s visit of in-form Newcastle. The former Sporting Lisbon chief, 39, has a contract until 2027 and maintains that is enough time for him to be judged. He is not being helped by arriving in such a toxic situation with fans disillusioned at the way United have been run on and off the pitch.
Yet Amorim’s problem is that, over the last few weeks, the team has gone BACKWARDS. United’s last home game was Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Bournemouth — which is when the roof started leaking on him. Incredibly, it was the club’s fourth Prem defeat at Old Trafford this season.

Yet Amorim insisted: “We have to fight against everything because our supporters are always there, but they are tired of this moment.
